Question

My penis is too thin for condoms or shall I say it is too loose when I have one on, so my girlfriend has to take the Pill.

I fear there will be side effects from those pills in the long term.

I would like to know if there are any condoms for thin penises. If not, is there anything I can do so that my partner doesn’t have to take pills to avoid pregnancy?

Answer

You say your penis is 'too thin' for condoms. Are you sure that you're getting a full erection when you put on the sheath?

Really, a condom should work (reasonably well) even if your penis is as thin as (say) your middle finger.

Anyway, there are currently eight other methods of contraception that are available to younger people. My advice is to go to one of the Brook Advisory Centres for Young People. Telephone them first to find out where the nearest one is to you. Their number is: 08000 185023.

I suggest you go along with your girlfriend and ask for their personal advice. I'm sure you'll find them extremely helpful.
